Rated 5 out of 5 by Travis69 from Awesome BlowerI wish I had bought a Stihl blower sooner. The power and reliability have cut my blowing leaves time in half.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lotus111 from This product blows stronger than any other brand.Had a choice between this BR 600 model, or the newer released model. I am totally satisfied with the operation and strength of this BR 600 model, the ease and weight, and the efficiency of air flow. The newer high end blower utilizes the CFMs better, I understand, but can't imagine an improvement over the BR 600!

Rated 5 out of 5 by IronsLarry from Why Did I Wait So Long To Buy It?First of, the dealer who I purchased it from, Freeman Creek Equipment was excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable, and gave me a demonstration of its features.The blower itself surpassed my expectations. I have a 1 acre property with mature oaks and maples. Needless to say, in the fall there are plenty of leaves. So much so that I am blowing them for several weeks. This blower has significantly cut down the time to do it. I like the ability to lock in various speeds.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 12Blue34 from Good leaf blowerThis is a good leaf blower, but not long lasting. It's two years old and just quit working. When idling, I'd try to increase the speed and it would quit. I stopped to refuel then it wouldn't start again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Monty26 from Very Quite and Does the JobI Maintain Grounds equipment on a university campus and we recently purchased three BR 500 Blowers for our department. All three are working great and it is much nicer around campus with the reduced noise levels from these blowers. We have many trees and at any one time are running 7 to 8 leaf blowers during the Fall to keep up. The BR 500 Blowers move less air than other blowers that are available but they provide enough air to do the job and as stated above produce noticeably less noise.
